Oh! The Buggy Google AntiGravity 2.0 is Here.

Well, yesterday Google Antigravity 2.0 released, and since I have been travelling ffs, it was a crime to try this on my Windows machine.

Btw, Google Antigravity 2.0 is a new, standalone desktop application that fully delivers on a truly agent-optimized experience, available on macOS, Linux, and Windows (download here).

Also,

Navigate to your application settings and disable automatic updates immediately. So, if something is working, it doesn’t get spoiled

Alright, so yesterday,

So, I downloaded it and got to this bug below:

Loading Loop.

I read that people on the community were already screaming about this and Google managed to fix this in 20 minutes, only to get me to another bug.

Authentication Failures.

I was not able to be authenticated.

In another 4 hours, this issue was gone too.

But now,

we are stuck here:

duplicate projects

If you go to https://antigravity.google/changelog,

you will find:

• Fixed an issue that caused duplicate projects to be created when importing from Antigravity 1.0.

but this hasn’t happened yet.

I don’t know what to say, to be honest.

Firstly, Google forced an overnight update to Antigravity 2.0.

If you let your machine auto-update, you already know the nightmare. They completely stripped the actual IDE out of the application.

Google silently split the product line without explicitly warning their paying user base.

During the Tuesday keynote, Google executives bragged that Antigravity 2.0 used 93 dynamic subagents to build the core of a custom operating system in 12 hours.

They played a live demo of the AI generating keyboard drivers in real-time to run the classic game Doom.

That was phenomenal marketing.

But, when will your product be usable, Google?

Back to Codex, thanks for spoiling the mood.

I hope you didn’t rely on Antigravity because a corporate’s update cycle to maintain your workflow makes you entirely vulnerable to their shifting product roadmaps.

Reinstall the classic IDE, lock down your version, and start moving your critical workflows to local, isolated agent frameworks.

The era of blindly trusting the tech giants with your primary execution environment is over anyway.

Touch everything. Don’t get habituated to one.

In case we are meeting for the first time, come over here, it’ll be worth the roller coaster of articles that are gonna come up in the next few weeks.
